The ghost of 1968

The latest edition of Dundee University's alumni publication, GC Magazine, includes a photograph from the archives. "Your grant is in danger" warn the posters displayed at a student work-in held in the university library in 1968. Helpfully, the caption draws attention to a youthful, dark-suited figure on the left: economics student George Robertson, 30 years before becoming a member of the Cabinet of the government that decided to axe grants altogether.
